Bad Bunny has reclaimed his throne as the most-streamed artist globally on Spotify for 2025, accumulating a staggering 19.8 billion streams throughout the year.

The Puerto Rican reggaeton superstar dethroned Taylor Swift, who had held the coveted top position for two consecutive years.

The achievement marks Bad Bunny's return to familiar territory, having previously dominated Spotify's annual rankings in 2020, 2021, and 2022. His latest triumph comes alongside another significant milestone — his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos claimed the number one spot on Spotify's newly introduced global albums chart.

Spotify's celebration of Bad Bunny's streaming milestone extends beyond mere statistics. The platform announced plans for a Global Film Launch, an interactive easter egg search, and various fan experiences. Listeners will notice a special sapo concho cartoon appearing over the play button when streaming his music, adding a playful element to the recognition.

The comprehensive Wrapped data becomes available to users through Spotify's dedicated hub, offering personalised streaming insights and introducing new social features. The "Wrapped Party" functionality enables friends to engage in live competitions based on their individual listening patterns, whilst detailed snapshots highlight users' most memorable streaming moments throughout the year.
